“Very reliable and responsible. Clearly very knowledgeable about animals and would definitely have Katie back any time. She took the time to write out her visit summary and I loved the photos. Thanks!”
“Audriana was awesome again! She took great care of our dog, and went above and beyond by spending extra time with him and even picked up the house some during the check ins. Highly recommend!”
About: I genuinely love being around animals. I walk my dog every day and care for friends pets, giving each one the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently in college, so I’m available after 12 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with a flexible schedule for the rest of the week. I’ll do my best to work around your schedule and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, walks, and playtime! Having a 10-year-old dog of my own has taught me patience and comfort. I make every walk safe, enjoyable, and tailored to each dog's needs.
“We used this app for the first time and got so lucky to find Patti! She immediately made us feel at ease upon our first meeting and our dog loved her right away. She even was able to eventually pet our 12 year old cat who is a really big scaredy cat with new people. She was able to do exactly what we needed with our pets while we were away and we did not have to worry one bit. Loved all the pics and comments every day as well. Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our fur babies! ??”
“Katie is awesome! She assured my cats would be taken care of with the upmost care. I could trust her with my home and my furry children and she made sure to update me with photos and daily texts while I was out of state”
About: Not only am I an animal lover, I have been a dog trainer for the last 18 years and a Pet First Aid & CPR instructor since earlier this year. I have worked with all kinds of animals and am familiar with a large range of behaviors. I also volunteered at different shelters for over 8 years. You can trust me with your pet. I am currently a professional dog trainer with availability for pet care throughout the week. I can be flexible for mornings, evenings and weekends, working around my training schedule. In clients homes I follow the guidelines provided by the pet owner. We discuss any clarifications before the job begins ensuring we have a mutual understanding on what is needed.
“The dogs were at first meeting defensive which is natural. Within minutes they relaxed and were comfortable with Tylyn. Nice pictures were taken everyday, the yard was cleaned up and she did a little extra watering. I was very comfortable with her dropping in for a total of nine days.”

“Halle took care of my sweet boy Milo for about 10 days. She was super patient with him as he warmed up to her, was responsive with directions, and made sure he was well taken care of during that time. I would absolutely book her again!!!”
“5/5 Stars! I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Hillary and her husband provided to my beloved dog, Taz! From the moment I dropped Taz off, I knew I was leaving him in capable and compassionate hands. Despite a few unexpected mishaps, including Taz's Houdini-like escape into a prepared crate in the house, Hillary and her husband handled the situation with professionalism and calm. They ensured Taz was safe, happy, and fed on time, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. What truly sets Hillary and her husband apart, however, is the genuine love and care they show to the dogs in their charge. It's clear they have a deep passion for animals and take the time to understand each dog's unique personality and needs. I highly recommend Hillary and her husband to anyone seeking top-notch pet care. They are trustworthy, reliable, and truly exceptional in every way. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Taz – I'm forever grateful!”
About: I guess you can say that I am a natural animal lover! I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hamsters, and horses throughout most of my life. Some of my best friends are four legged to this day! Being a CPR Instructor, mom, and an experienced care giver, my friends, family, and neighbors have regularly relied on me to feed, walk, care, and house sit for their four legged family members. I know how much our furry friends mean to us and I guarantee that your fur babies will be in great hands. I love sharing time with the pups at their homes, exploring nearby walking trails and/or field trips to the park. I also love playing with kitties and their toys. By trade, I am a certified CPR Instructor. Having this emergency medical background gives me the confidence and life saving skills to keep animals safe and cared for in case of an emergency. I also enjoy hosting pets at my home. 🏡 I am located in East Roseville and my home backs up to Eastwood Park and the new bike path which makes dog walks convenient and pleasant. I have three cats in my home which are dog friendly. I look forward to meeting you and your furry dear ones soon! Thank you! Amber I am a full-time mom to a teenager, which means I have a lot of free time for dog walking and pet care these days. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most times needed. I can easily care for your animals at your home or mine by following their feeding and exercise schedule. I provide dog walking, field trips, play time, administration of medicine, light grooming and of course clean up! I also care for cats, smaller animals, and farm animals!
“So grateful to Travis and his flexibility, from a quick meet and greet to a change in the scheduled time. He arrived promptly and spent quality playtime with Buster. Great communication and response. We can't wait to use Travis again!”
About: I hold a bachelor's degree in Animal Science from UC Davis, with a specialized focus on animal behavior. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats, I've seamlessly transitioned from caring for playful puppies to nurturing the needs of wise seniors. I was a manager at a small company dedicated to animal vitamins, where I improved my expertise in animal nutrition. With a holistic approach to pet care grounded in both education and hands-on experience, I am committed to providing the best possible care for your furry baby!! I currently work full time partially remote (2 days of the week I am in office and unavailable) but I am fully available the other days of the week as I manage my own time. I can take same day visits and I am flexible for you! While caring for your pets in the comfort of your home, my goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and following the routine they are used to. Whether it’s feeding time, walks, playtime, cuddles, or their favorite activities, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also keep your pet’s space clean and tidy, send fun photo updates, and stay in communication so you always have peace of mind knowing your pets are getting the love and personalized attention they deserve.
“This is our second time using Alex. She’s responsible and showed up at the requested times and Sophie seems to really enjoy her visits. Alex was previously partially booked on our requested days yet she made herself available anyway to accommodate us. Great service!”
About: I've always loved dogs, and want the chance to get to know yours as well! I myself have a very energetic miniature aussie, as well as experience pet sitting a wide variety of dogs. I grew up with a Shetland sheepdog, and have experience with dogs as small as 15-20 lbs, and as large as 101+ lbs. I have no qualms about dog breeds either, with all members of my family and friends having a healthy mix of dogs across the spectrum of size, breeds, and personalities. If your dog wants to cuddle and be pet, or go out and play endless fetch, I'm all about it. Or, I'm more than happy to stay in the house to give them some company. Totally up to you, and them! I'm a stay at home mom with lots of hobbies and the occasional tutoring session, so I have quite a bit of availability. Most of my availability is after my husband gets home from work, so I can give your pet the focus and love it deserves while my daughter stays home. I also have quite a bit of availability over the weekend to stop in and say hi. All of this being said, I'm flexible, and would love the opportunity to talk with you to see if we can work together for a solution that gets your pet the care and attention they need. I am happy to care for your pets in your home. I will arrive on time and consistently. More than anything, I will always communicate with you to let you know how everything went, and I'm happy to send pictures as well.
About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and previously cared for my cat for many years. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention or comfort. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, love, and care I would give my own. I attend college fully online, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and walks. Because I attend college fully online, I’m home most of the time and can provide frequent bathroom breaks, exercise, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my own dogs will always be kept completely separate from any pets in my care. They will never be in the same room or have direct contact. This allows me to provide a calm, safe environment while giving your pet my full attention and ensuring every animal remains comfortable.

This is our second time booking with Johanna and she is absolutely incredible!! She is so sweet and loving with our dog and is very communicative while we’re gone and great with checking in with photos and messages!! Thank you Johanna for taking care of our boy and we can’t wait to book with you again!!
Ella is an absolute angel! My family was going out of town for one night & we were really worried about our dog, Ava, but she made us feel so comfortable & Ava seemed to be just fine with Ella! She sent pictures and made sure to stay in contact with us. I would definitely recommend & use her again.
Madison is incredible. I booked 7 days while I was away on vacation to watch both my dog and cat. I felt comfortable the entire time. She asked all the right questions, had excellent communication, and provided regular updates. You’re in good hands with Madison!
Khylei was wonderful with our cats and rats! She was quick to respond to messages, took excellent care of our critters, and even went above and beyond with cleaning up the messes they made while we were away. The daily updates and photos were so reassuring as well. We'll definitely be reaching out to her for our future pet sitting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Citrus Heights is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $56 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,024 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Citrus Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Citrus Heights. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
